Cisco Catalyst 6500 Enhanced 9-Slot Chassis 14RU | Enterprise — CON-L1NBD-FLSASRFW

Create a purpose-built switching foundation with the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Enhanced 9-slot chassis. The 14RU chassis format is suited to enterprise network cores where slot density, serviceability, and long-term expansion matter more than commodity hardware shortcuts. By starting with a chassis-only configuration, teams can specify the power and cooling architecture that matches their operational standards. This approach is valuable in environments where network design is driven by uptime targets, maintenance windows, and controlled growth. A chassis without power supplies or fan tray lets architects align the platform with existing spares strategy, airflow requirements, and redundancy policies instead of paying for bundled components that may not fit the deployment plan. Choose this chassis when you need a stable base for a high-capacity Catalyst 6500 build and want to control the final system design. It is a strong fit for enterprise cores, aggregation layers, and campus networks that demand a proven chassis platform with room to scale. Ideal For Building a campus network core with modular line cards Deploying an aggregation chassis in a large enterprise data center Replacing an aging Catalyst 6500 chassis while retaining design control Standardizing a chassis-only procurement model for network infrastructure teams Why This Product 1 Chassis-only design gives more control than bundled configurations 2 9-slot capacity supports modular expansion 3 14RU footprint fits enterprise rack planning 4 No PS or fan tray lets teams match existing power and cooling standards
